COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONJacob Spears, our 6th Great Grand Uncle, is credited as the first distiller to label his whiskey "Bourbon." He built his distillery in Bourbon County, Kentucky in 1790 - 203 years before began brewing. While obviously a bit too late to produce Uncle Jacob’s wash, we’ve instead created something far more complex. In his honor, we present this robust, silky smooth, full-bodied and altogether extremely American rendition of an Imperial Stout aged for 6 months in the very finest bourbon barrels. This explains a lot about our penchant for big brews! It’s in our blood!
Brewed with Rocky Mountain Water, Malter Barley, Flaked Oats, Hops and Yeast.

Bottle. Appearance: oily black with very small dark mocha head that dissipates quickly to almost nothing. Aroma: big dark chocolates, deep roasted malts, oak, vanilla, dark fruit, no bourbon or booziness really at all. Taste: sweet dark fruitiness up front with bitter dark chocolate coming in and very sweet molasses, vanilla, and bourbon notes in the end and a sugary and coffee bitter aftertaste. Mouthfeel: very creamy and slick thick with very little carbonation. Overall: the alcohol doesn't announce itself like you might expect. The sweetness is a bit heavy, but I think that's where the bourbon and booze is shining through. Looking forward to trying again with some age.

Pours jet black with a dense brown head. Nose: caramel roasted malts, chocolate brownie mix, latte or intensly sugared espresso. Taste: sweet roasted malts, vanilled oak and chocolate cake, slight prune and fruity molasses in the emidiate finnish. The aftertaste is full and rich with creamy chocolate, espresso and the mouthfeel on this masterfull brew is lightly carbonated. I found it very ’Avery’ and that aint bad. Tak Peter aka motherbrother!

Simply an unconscionable amount of alcohol. However, the palate is rich, lengthy, and only a bit slick. Oats, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, molasses, but all in balance and moderation. A little honey and stickiness on the finish.
